Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019111034A1] Systems and methods relating to providing Data Network (IMS) session continuity across 4G access and 5G access and core networks are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a wireless device comprises establishing over a first access network (e.g., 4G) a first packet data connection to a packet data network (e.g., IMS) identified by a first packet data network identifier (e.g., APN), performing a registration with an application entity (P-CSCF) of the packet data network; and sending over a second access network (5G) a request for a second packet data connection to the packet data network (IMS) identified by a second packet data network identifier (e.g., DNN) wherein the request comprises an identifier of the application entity (P-CSCF) of the packet data network with which the wireless device has previously registered. The request for the second packet data connection may comprise the DN public identifier (i.e., the IMS public identifier) used in the registration with the DN (IMS) and may optionally request for linking the second packet data connection to the first packet data connection in such a way that will allow control of simultaneous access to the DN over 4G and 5G. A common or different IP address may be assigned to the first packet data connection and the second packet data connection. Similar methods are provided on the policy control entity and the user plane control entity. In this manner, simultaneous access of a wireless device over 4G and 5G can be controlled.
